On growing up in the American South of the 1960s--an all-American white boy--son of a long line of Methodist preachers, in the midst of the civil rights revolution, and discovering the culpability of silence within the church. By the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and columnist for The Birmingham News. "My dad was a Methodist preacher and his dad was a Methodist preacher," writes John Archibald. "It goes all the way back on both sides of my family. When I am at my best, I think it comes from that sermon place." Everything Archibald knows and believes about life is "refracted through the stained glass of the Southern church. It had everything to do with people. And fairness. And compassion." In Shaking the Gates of Hell, Archibald asks: Can a good person remain silent in the face of discrimination and horror, and still be a good person? Archibald had seen his father, the Rev. Robert L. Archibald, Jr., the son and grandson of Methodist preachers, as a moral authority, a moderate and a moderating force during the racial turbulence of the '60s, a loving and dependable parent, a forgiving and attentive minister, a man many Alabamians came to see as a saint. But was that enough? Even though Archibald grew up in Alabama in the heart of the civil rights movement, he could recall few words about racial rights or wrongs from his father's pulpit at a time the South seethed, and this began to haunt him. In this moving and powerful book, Archibald writes of his complex search, and of the conspiracy of silence his father faced in the South, in the Methodist Church and in the greater Christian church. Those who spoke too loudly were punished, or banished, or worse. Archibald's father was warned to guard his words on issues of race to protect his family, and he did. He spoke to his flock in the safety of parable, and trusted in the goodness of others, even when they earned none of it, rising through the ranks of the Methodist Church, and teaching his family lessons in kindness and humanity, and devotion to nature and the Earth. Archibald writes of this difficult, at times uncomfortable, reckoning with his past in this unadorned, affecting book of growth and evolution.

Though the Body of Christ has faced persecution throughout its history, these attacks will never be victorious. In this book, the authors show how these attackers are on the wrong side of history--those opposed to Christianity have been destined to lose, as the Church continues to grow--and give readers hope for tomorrow and Christlike responses that can help make a difference.
These thoughts will crowd in dreadful array before the soul of the awakened

before his eyes , and he were constrained to look through them . But , when this shaking ...

Every night Kevin would dream the same dream. Each time Kevin dreamt the same dream it seem to become more and more vivid. It was as though the dream was drawing him closer and closer until he could reach out and touch it. The dream would start out with Kevin driving down a road on a stormy night. As his car would approach the destination Kevin would see a gate at a cemetery and some devilish looking man in a cape with blazing red eyes waving him to come in, but Kevin was too scared to enter the gates. As Kevin would push on the gas to speed off his car would stall and the devilish man in the black cape would approach Kevin's car, then Kevin would wake up screaming in horror and sweating profusely. Kevin tried his best before he went to sleep not to read or watch any scary movies on the television so his mind wouldn't be fixated on that horrible dream. Kevin was so scared of his dream that he would leave the light on in his room all night in hopes he could sleep soundly, but that wasn't the case. Kevin told himself the next time that he had this dream he would try to remember more details about the dream and write them down on paper hoping to solve this horrifying puzzle. By doing this might even find the location of the cemetery so he could face this horrifying dream head on and get his life back to normal. Before Kevin went to bed he drank a glass of wine in hopes this would calm his nerves, so when he was dreaming this horrible dream he would feel not so scared and more in focus of his surroundings. Just before Kevin went to bed he knelt down at the side of his bed and said a little prayer before he closed his eyes and started dreaming. Kevin's preparation before the dream started to pay off for him in a big way. After careful analysis of his dream in the morning, Kevin was able to find out the name of the cemetery. The name he was able to come up with was called Koimeterion Gates, but Kevin could not make out the other two words because they were partially covered in dirt. There were enough words on the sign to pinpoint the location of the cemetery. The cemetery was located about fifty miles south from where Kevin currently lives. Kevin decided to wait until the next day to search for the cemetery because the weather forecast didn't show a cloud in the sky. Kevin decided since the weather was so nice he wouldn't start his drive until around 3 pm and arrive by 4 pm which gave him four hours to do some investigating before the sun went down. Kevin left the house a little before 3 pm because he had to stop by the gas station to get some gas in his car and eat a sandwich on the way there to the cemetery. As Kevin was pumping gas in his car he looked up at the sky, closing his eyes and feeling the warmth from the sun on his face. Kevin was so excited he ran in the gas station and got his sandwich and drink. Kevin told the cashier "man it sure is a beautiful day out, isn't it." The cashier replied "it sure is, but I'm here all night. What a bummer." "Well I must be going. I want to get an early start before the sun goes down, said Kevin." Kevin got in his car and headed for the Koimeterion Gates to put an end to his horrid dream. Kevin had no idea this dream was about to become a reality and be his last dream he would ever dream again. Kevin really wasn't such a perfect guy like his friends all thought he was. He would go to church every Sunday like all the other Christians would but when Monday came his sins would take hold of him. Maybe because he was deep in sin is why he was having such a horrible dream. Kevin's car finally pulled up to the Koimeterion Gates which was going to be his final destination and there was no turning back. Just as Kevin's car came to a complete stop the beautiful sky turned grey. Kevin rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe that this beautiful day was turning so gloomy so fast. Kevin said "This can't be happening. There wasn't supposed to be a cloud in the sky." Then it started storming and as Kevin turned his head to the right there stood the devilish man with blazing red eyes wearing a black cape and waving Kevin to come into the cemetery. Kevin closed his eyes and said "I must be dreaming." As Kevin opened his eyes nothing changed. The devilish man in the black cape was now at his driver side window of his car. Kevin slowly turned his head to the left and he wet his pants and his heart was pounding out of his chest. The devilish man was pointing at the sign on the cemetery gate laughing.
